Apart from the famous canyon Jai Van, the best of this fort are the views since from Nahargarh you get a magnificent view of the Amber Fort. Inside the fort there stays worthwhile, conservation really need quite like the road that takes you there, with many potholes. It's like visiting my school, but Amber catches you close so you can...

The fort houses the worlds largest cannon on wheels, which was constructed on site. It also has a small palace which is well worth the tour. Overall, its one of the places you shouldn't skip in Jaipur if you want to see old architecture and history.

Give your eyes a treat of witnessing the world's biggest/longest Canon from 17th century. They say it has only been tried once and the fireball travelled abt 30-40 Kms . About 100 kg (220 lb) of gunpowder fired a shot ball weighing 50 kg (110 lb).

On my first day of my "Golden Triangle Tour" Jaipur where Amber Fort was to be one of the places to visit. Enroute to the fort I saw the old Pink City and many of the buildings made of pink sandstone. Being a Las Vegas resident where we routinely implode any building more than 25 years old to rebuild another... More

It is an interesting place and a quieter place as the tourists do not swarm here. So roam around and enjoy yourself.

The first glimpse of the Jaigarh Fort from the Amber Fort will not make a bold statement unless one visits the fort and its inhabitant “Jaivana”, the largest canon of the world which was assembled there was fired only once in its lifetime. The defense strategy and effort to build the armoury atop a hill is commendable. The Fort also... More

The Fort houses the largest cannon in the world. The fort is built with thick walls of red sandstone which is impressive in... More

Thats both the canon and the expanse of the fort. Maybe worthwhile taking a guide to really appreciate the fort. lots of things to know about. Also A great vista of Amber from the viewing galleries at the extreme end of the fort. Will take some walking but worth it.
